View Full Version : Possible Bug in VMNG300 firmware?

Right, firstly my little story (ill keep it short):
I had the superhub, was causing me problems, rang CEO office, got VMNG300
when i first typed that it was at least 30 lines!
Anyway the problem:
On the superhub I got channels 125, 126, 127 and 128, this is exactly the same on the modem. however upstream, on the superhub would mostly connect to channel 6, but if i restarted a couple of times it would get channel 5, which seemed a lot less utilised and gave me lower ping. On the modem it only gives me channel 6 (or so it would seem).... i posted on the VM forums and asked why I couldnt get 5 (i spent 45 minutes sat next to the modem pulling the power lead out and plugging it back in (yes im sad:p:)) anyway the guy on VM forums told me that I was connected to channel 5, and double checking the modem stats it said channel 6, so does the modem have a firmware bug where it reports channel 5 as being channel 6?
if it is a bug, i can certainly see why is hasnt been picked up lol, i cant really see how anyone would notice it, unless in the same situation as me

well i wasnt going to post it after the farce the other day, but i thought it was well worth it, especially seeing as VM are paying me £12 an hour to take some attention away from the superhub

but its not put me on 7 (or 6 as it would be)
maybe thats why the superhub "wasnt that good", becuase it automatically puts you on saturated channels

I am on channel 3 as well. While we are talking about channels and ubrs i want to moan about that site everyone goes on about which shows the utilisation of the ubrs in your area. You have got 11 or 12 colours crammed together which is crap for colour blind people because I cant see which line is mine :(

this was the one I was talking about http://ukinternetreport.co.uk/cmts/
Are these physically separate servers or are they cards sat within a server which customers are assigned to?
Either way, just as this site shows the latency of the ubrs serving a particular area, is their a report we can access which shows the latency or channel utilisation of each ubr we are on?
i.e if I know I am on linc11, is there anyway I can compare the upstream channels we are talking about?

Nope as even when I called up using the Superhub he said I was on channel 2 when I was on channel 3... So it makes no difference what modem/hub you have.

One of the things ignition told me was to check the frequency rather than the id as the id is cosmetic and can change even tho you on the same channel still. So if you can remember the frequency of the lower utilised channel and compare it to the one on the vmng300 you will know if it is different or not.
The last month or so I was on the superhub VM activated a 2nd upstream channel so I had channels 7 and 8, 7 was significantly lower utilised than 8 and yet the superhub 9 times out of 10 picked 8, my logic was that the superhub scans from top down (not other way) so unless there is a issue connecting to 8 then 7 wont get picked. Hence my trick of artifically reducing the signal to 8 by half removing the cable so 7 gets picked. A short time before I got the vmng300 the channel 7 changed to a docsis2 channel which looks like it merged in the channel 8 as well so the 2 smaller width channels merged into a single big width channel. As the last week or so on the superhub it seemed to keep picking channel 7. This has carried on to the vmng300 now I always get channel 7 and I did check the frequency which is the same as the channel 7 was on the superhub. So for me its either.
1 - still 2 channels but VM stopped the round robin and forced customers onto specific channels.
2 - is only 1 channel now its docsis2.
3 - as you say the vmng300 is acting odd, but its worth saying whenever I plugin my superhub it always gets channel 7 now as well. you should be able to do same test if your superhub is still activated.

the superhub is still activates chrys, but im not sure it will work after the last beating i gave it, i was intending on introducing it to my airsoft gun, but i thought its better in one piece, especially if VM will want it back if i ever cancel.
ill plug it in sometime this week when iv got some time, and ill check the frequencies of the channels, im on the upgraded upload speed, so docsis2 16qam

About the only bug I can find is that it says "Channel Id" on downstream (I have 93-96), then the correct "Channel ID" on the upstream (5). Hardly a dealbreaker. :D
Although now I look closer, upstream power level is rated 57 dBmV, is that within nominal range? (Downstream is ~-0.3 for all four.)

If you are having issues with an Upstream that high then we would normally tech it.

he wouldnt be having an issue otherwise it would have been apparent, he wouldnt have just "happened to notice it" when he checked the stats
however people report upstream problems at 55.1 never mind 57 :erm:

well iv just had the superhub hooked up, and (not) to my surprise it is still activated, despite nopanics well written scripts :D
the channel it locked onto for the upstream was channel 6, and had the same frequency as channel 6 on the VMNG, so im missing out on channel 5 here, where has it gone? it was better on channel 5

Right the tech guy just been here and say my power level for 100 meg is now resolved and got max out 98.3Meg downloads and 9.83Meg uploads. He say I can continue to kept my VMNG300 for time being until the superhub fixed the firmware until late 2011 and he say that superhub still issues with 100 & 200 Meg

Its not a problem, but channel 5 was visibly less utilised, I put the dud back in yesterday and it went to channel 6 as well, but it did in the past, only after about 4 or 5 reboots it went to channel 5, but i cant get the modem onto channel 5 for the life of me

to be honest plugging in the superhub once with it connecting to same channel as modem has got you no evidence the channel is still available. You need to manage to get the superhub back on this missing channel or just have to forget it :(
In my situation I think channel 8 is either gone or unavailable as even the superhub always gets channel 7 now. Luckily for me channel 8 was the higher utilised one so am not that bothered its gone. Personally I think it got merged as channel 7's utilisation has gone up somewhat since it happened but not as high as channel 8 was.

Does the channel you connect to with the modem appear over utilised? If not the modem is doing it's job and putting you on the best available channel.
AFAIK you have never been able to force a channel change with the modem.

the channel i am connected to now (6) isnt over utilised, but is clearly higher utilised than 5 was. I havnt really got the time to be swapping modems about, but I would like the VMNG to connect to 5, as that would be an awesome connection. channel 5 was good enough on the superhub, but when that rebooted magically it sometimes put me onto 6
iv got some time to waste at the weekend, so I will have a play with my toys
does anyone have a clue about the squealing power supply?

Get a replacement power adapter, keep trying until you get one that doesn't squeal. As they don't send them out serarately you will end up with a large POS supply!

the one I received with the VMNG300 was a netgear one identical to the superhub power supply, so iv swapped it over for the one that came with the superhub, so all is working and no squealing!

I have a few PSUs that make high-pitched squeals, I always figured it was a result of poor quality components used in the stepdown process, a theory added to by the fact the noisest ones also tend to run the hottest.

craig I Was checking the old LE3 thread for something and found my old channel 7 frequency, it does seem although the modem reports channel 7 I am actually on the old channel 8.
Here is my old channel 7 frequency.
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35176947-post369.html
Upstream Channels
Lock Status Modulation Channel ID Max Raw Bit Rate Frequency Power
Locked TDMA 7 10240 Kbits/sec 44000000 Hz 43.9 dBmV
I am now on and have been since docsis2 45800000 Hz
I would have expected if merged for the start to still be 44000000 Hz.
Given my upstream is now looking more shaky utilisation wise I am also curious if I can get back on another channel somehow.
craigj2k12
31-05-2011, 18:04
Exactly my problem. I tried for about 1hour 15mins to get my beloved channel 5 back, but nothing, i was even doing the trick with pulling the wire out, then putting it back in when the modem disconnected. However as I I posted on here a few weeks ago around the time of the royal wedding there was an upstream issue which required work on the network and things havnt been the same since. The channels have the same number and frequency on both the superhub and VMNG300, so it definitely the same channel, and if the superhub could see number 5 then why cant the modem?
pip08456
31-05-2011, 18:08
Igni has answered that for you previously. If the frequency is the same then it is the difference between CPE's Some start the channel count at 0, some at 1.

if it is a bug, i can certainly see why is hasnt been picked up lol, i cant really see how anyone would notice it, unless in the same situation as me:D:D:D
craigj2k12
31-05-2011, 18:35
right, your mixing me up now :D
Both the superhub and the modem report channel 6 upstream on frequency 35800000Hz
There was another channel i used to get, channel 5 (not sure of the frequency) which i got on the superhub. Since installing the modem I have never had channel 6, so i queried it on the VM forum, and they told me I was connected to channel 5, even though the modem said 6.
The channels and their frequencies match up on the superhub and the modem, but obviously both of those count the channels from 1, and the CMTS counts from 0
The the difference in how channels are numbered is probably between the CPE and the systems virgin use.
Virgins starts at 0 while the superhub and bettermodem start counting from 1.
Probably :p

thats what I said, but i want to know why i cant connect to the less utilised channel, which comes through on the modem as channel 5 and probably on the CMTS as 4
Its probably not any less utilized now. If it was a good channel before, then gradually as modems were rebooted they would have hopped onto it and eventually it would cease to be the channel modems prefer.
That dosent explain why my downstream channels are out of order mind. How on earth it can go 28 27 29 is beyond me. I guess 27 is worse than 28 but better than 29.

the superhub puts them out of order since R25, dont know why, it was reported in the beta firmware thread but they said it didnt matter. However the VMNG300 puts them in order

31-05-2011, 18:57
Skie what I remember from when I could use the other channel was if I left the superhub to its own devices, then 9 times out of 10 it would pick the higher utilised channel. If it was a completely random logic then it would be roughly 50% chance of getting either channel. The only time I seen the lower channel was when I emulated fault conditions. The very first time I got on it was after a long outage, then the other times was when I either did a lot of power cycles 20+ or after deliberatly reducing the SNR by half removing the cable. So if anything it appeared to be used as a fallback channel.
Then a change to docsis2 occured and I eventually got the vmng300. Since utilisation remained fairly low I stopped bothering trying to jump channels and I also wrongly thought I stayed on it anyway by the channel id been 7 on the vmng300. Now utilisation is going up again my curioisity is back. However.
1 - is the channel even there anymore it may have been merged into the larger docsis2 channel.
2 - if its there is it still available to use to my modem as VM may have made it unavailable to me.
I will try later to see if I can change channels but wont try forever :) maybe for 20 minutes or so.

well you have the 2 different channels before the 'major' changes to the network, but the network didnt change at all around here and changing to the modem meant that i couldnt find the channel anymore, since having the modem, there was an upstream fault (noise) which was resolved, but still no channel 5. it has to be there somewhere, just a question of finding it
Chrysalis
31-05-2011, 19:09
Actually I forgot to consider that the superhub the channel id actually stayed on 7 even tho the frequency changed.
So previously channel 7 was 4.4mhz and channel 8 (higher utilised) was 4.58mhz.
After network changes channel 7 was 4.58mhz on the superhub.
So different frequency but same id.
I think I probably wont get anywhere but i will try anyway.

The downstream channel numbers aren't really a cause for concern.
On reboot the modem (or modem side) must lock onto one downstream channel first. All the information the modem needs to operate on the system is sent through that channel. That could explain the out of order channel numbers.
Chrysalis
31-05-2011, 19:14
yeah the downstream order isnt an issue, if the first one is highest utilised doesnt matter as the traffic is auto balanced to lowest utilised channels anyway. Thats whats so great about bonding. On the 20mbit service I had to keep hopping downstream channels as when a channel worked well one day it was over utilised the next day.

That's why with some a little knowledge is dangerous, they tend to look for problems that don't exist or make them suit their problem.

ok I finished playing.
Was harder to do and I also failed.
On the vmng300 if removing the cable it seems it eithers works with normal power levels or doesnt work, I couldnt get it to be partially connected at reduced power levels. The numerous recconections were all on the same channel.
When I tried on the superhub because of bridge mode I had the same problem I had with the vmng300 in that I couldnt keep refreshing the page to check the channel status as I had to keep doing dhcp renew's on the router to keep been able to connect to the GUI, the superhub had an additional problem because of this I couldnt relogin after a dhcp renew due to a ghosted session and the superhub restriction of one login at a time. Nevertherless I did about 10 attempts and all same channel.
So I am stuck with this jitter now until VM do another upgrade.

here is some from earlier tho in afternoon. I used to be able to get like this in the evenings also only 2 or so weeks ago. I think VM have dumped some users on my port with some rebalancing.

ok I finished playing.
Was harder to do and I also failed.
On the vmng300 if removing the cable it seems it eithers works with normal power levels or doesnt work, I couldnt get it to be partially connected at reduced power levels. The numerous recconections were all on the same channel.
When I tried on the superhub because of bridge mode I had the same problem I had with the vmng300 in that I couldnt keep refreshing the page to check the channel status as I had to keep doing dhcp renew's on the router to keep been able to connect to the GUI, the superhub had an additional problem because of this I couldnt relogin after a dhcp renew due to a ghosted session and the superhub restriction of one login at a time. Nevertherless I did about 10 attempts and all same channel.
So I am stuck with this jitter now until VM do another upgrade.

hmm there is a 2nd channel, I got one on 3.58mhz and the ID is 4.
The modem d/c by itself and recconected and I was on that channel but it couldnt lock to a downstream so I waited and then it came back online but back on 4.58mhz :(
I have had about 2 or 3 d/c during the day as well which were not me messing about.
the superhub puts them out of order since R25, dont know why, it was reported in the beta firmware thread but they said it didnt matter. However the VMNG300 puts them in order
I have a VMNG300, not a Superhub

Sounds like it could be upgrade work happening in you area.

Yes I've noticed a few of these on my particular piece of the infrastructure too. In lieu of better information I'm deducing that it is due to UBR upgrades/changes for better superhub support and/or UBR upgrades/changes to make more of the VM network 100Mb compliant.
Whatever it is, at least they have the good sense to wait until late evening/early morning to start messing with the network.
